School of Nursing
At the Health Sciences Simulation Center, students from the School of Nursing and other clinical programs get to practice and perfect their skills in a safe, supportive environment. You'll interact with patient actors and life-like human models, putting your classroom learning to work.
Please note there will not be a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) application opening on October 1, 2021. The School of Nursing (SON) is transitioning to the NursingCAS application for fall 2022 and forward for the Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Nursing and BSN programs. On March 1, 2022, the NursingCAS will open for AAS Nursing applicants and BSN applicants for a fall 2022 start in the full-major programs. A new application will open July 15, 2022, for admission into the full-major programs for spring 2023 only. More information and guidance will be posted soon. Please continue to check the SON website for updates.
Dear Students,
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult and uncertain time. We know this is stressful and is compounded by all of the changes that appear to be occurring daily.
For AAS & BS Students: The academic advisors in the College of Health Student Success Center will be conducting advising appointments via zoom or telephone while social distancing guidance is in place. Students can continue to schedule appointments in the same way they have by calling the main line at 907-786-1318 or emailing uaa_healthadvising@alaska.edu.
For Other Issues: The School of Nursing's main office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Employees and students must use WolfCards or keys to access campus buildings. Please email questions or concerns to the appropriate faculty or staff, or students can contact faculty through Blackboard directly. Questions to all administrative staff should be sent to uaa.nursing@alaska.edu.
Thank you and keep safe and well,
